on-demand upon exposure to the external stimulus. The discovery of SMP made a significant breakthrough in the developments of novel smart materials for a variety of engineering applications, superseded the traditional materials, and also influenced the current methods of product designing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides the latest advanced information on on-going research domains of SMP. This will certainly enlighten the reader to the achievements and tremendous potentials of SMP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe basic fundamentals of SMP, including shape-memory mechanisms and mechanics, are described. This will aid the reader to become more familiar with SMP and the basic concepts, thus guiding them in undergoing independent research in the SMP field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also provides the reader with associated challenges and existing application problems of SMP. This could assist the reader to focus more on these issues and further exploit their knowledge to look for innovative solutions. Future outlooks of SMP research are discussed as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book should prove to be extremely useful for academics, R\u0026amp;D managers, researcher scientists, engineers, and all others related to the SMP research.\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Shape-memory Effect\u003cbr\u003e1.2.1 Shape-memory Effect in Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.2.2 Shape-memory Effect in Shape-memory Polymers and Shape-memory Alloys\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Structure of Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.3.1 Thermally Induced Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.3.2 Athermal Shape-memory Polymers \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification of Shape-memory Polymers \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Conclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Shape-memory Polymers: Molecular Design, Shape-memory Functionality, and Programming\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e2.2 Molecular Design of Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Thermally Sensitive Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e2.2.1.1 Shape-memory Polymers based on the\u003cbr\u003eAmorphous Phase\u003cbr\u003e2.2.1.2 Shape-memory Polymers based on Semi-crystalline Phase \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1.3 Shape-memory Polymers based on Liquid Crystalline Phase\u003cbr\u003e2.2.2.
